Marriages 1675 - 1750/1
Transcribed from the parish registers held at the Dorset History Centre in Dorchester
and donated to the Dorset OPC Project by Kim Parker.
TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: Up until 1752, England used the Julian calendar, with the official start of the year being Lady Day (25 th March). The Gregorian calendar was introduced into England in 1752, so that 31st December 1751 was followed by 1st January 1752. In the transcript below, prior to 1752, dates between 1 st January and 24 th March inclusive are shown with two years: the year to the left of the forward slash [/] is the year as per the Julian calendar, while that after it is the year as per the Gregorian calendar. Researchers may therefore choose whether they wish to use the Julian or Gregorian date.
From the late 17 th century to 1812, and in particular from 1690 to 1775, the register is messy and random, so not only is it difficult to read, but it is not possible to make assumptions about the chronology of events based on the order in which they appear in the register. Researchers interested in events before 1812 are therefore urged to use this transcript as a guide only and double check the microfiche of the original register at the Dorset History Centre (DHC) in Dorchester.
The DHC has the original register and a transcript of the register from 1698 onwards begun in 1807 (and completed in 1812). The original register was written on parchment, which has disintegrated over the years, but I have used it where possible, since the 1807 transcript – although written in a beautiful copperplate script that is much easier to read – is not consistent in its conversion of the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, abbreviated first names and modernised spellings of surnames, so that inevitably mistakes crept in, and also omitted comments made by the clerk, which sometimes provide vital clues.
